Today button takes you back to the current date from wherever you are.Pending response you see events to which you have been invited but haven't answered yet, and when you filter by Will attend you show only events that you have confirmed that you attend.My Calendar, but for another user which you specify in the submenu.
There is no list view in the Calendar module - use the calender view (see above) instead.1)
If you want to repeat the same event on different dates (like a weekly meeting or a birthday) you can define an event as a repeating event. (This is very similar to defining a repeating task.)
daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. To convert a repeating event back to a normal event simply set this dropdown menu to This Day Only.To ensure that people don't forget an event you can define reminders, consisting of e-mail notifications or pop-up alerts. (This is very similar to defining reminders for tasks.)
Choose the type of a reminder (E-mail or Pop-up message) and the timeframe (in Minutes, Hours, Days or Weeks). By checking Apply to all subscribers these reminders are sent not only to the invited people but to all users who have subscribed to this event as well. You can define as many reminders for an event as you like.
Please note: Feng Office will not prevent you from defining several identical reminders.
When you create an event you have to decide which users you want to invite. In addition you can choose to send invitations by e-mail.
PLEASE NOTE: Which users you are able to invite depends on the workspace the event belongs to.3)
Inviting people has two consequences:
My Calendar view.
PLEASE NOTE: As of Feng Office 1.0 there is no list where you can see who has been invited, who will attend and who has declined.4) The only way to see the invitation status of a user is to filter the calendar by this user (View > By user), where the status is indicated by an icon:
The user has not answered this invitation yet.
The user will attend (he answered “yes”).
The user is undecided (he answered “maybe”).
The user will not attend (he answered “no”).
Can I synchronize the Feng Office calendar with the calendar on my PC or mobile phone?
At this time (Feng Office 1.0) synchronization with local calendars (like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Sunbird/Lightning, Apple iCal) is not supported.5)
Can I synchronize the Feng Office calendar with Google Calendar?
Not at this time (Feng Office 1.0), but it is planned for one of the next releases.6)

Am only able to create a single all-day event (as opposed to an all-day event that spans multiple days) But can create a repeating event for several days as a reasonable work around. Thought about trying to have duration go past 24 hours without checking the all day event box, but won't work.
You will be glad to know, I began construction on a Python script to help you with your Google Calendar sync. Took me a couple of hours, but, it's pretty much done.
It checks against the existing MySQL DB for OpenGoo, for new Project Events and Project Tasks, and then passes these events to your Google Calendar via the Google Python API modules and authentication system.
Currently all it does is a one-way street to Google for New project tasks and events. I may consider working with the code some more to make it bi-directional if I have more time (it's not that hard, really), but, I'm making this openly available to the public if you wish to use this for your own needs.
Shoot me a message if you're interested in playing with the code. Python is really easy to figure out, by the way - and is kind of like Perl on steroids.
If you want to improve this code, by all means, please do!

Checking in to see if there is code available to sync bi-directionally to Google Calendar.
Hello Shawn!! where can i get the plugin?? y can help you with the testing process
So…has the google calendar sync been initiated…? Can't wait!

Is creating an event which lasts more than one day only possible using the repeating event function? If so, this should be described in the manual.
Regards Andreas.
Up to OpenGoo 1.5.x it's not possible to create an event that covers more than one calendar day. We've added this in the wiki (see “Edit view” > “Main section”).
But OpenGoo 1.6 will introduce this functionality - see http://blog.opengoo.org/?p=116#more-116
I can't manage repeating events separately. After add some repeating events if I make a change in one event this event spreads for all the others. Is there a way to make it separately??
No, there's no way to do that, because that's the idea behind a repeting event: It's the same event on different dates.
Hi there, I was wondering if it is possible to transform task into calendar events with an hour definition. Say for example I have the review inventory every week, so I define a task for it. Then I want to set that task to Monday 8am to 11am. How can I do that?
I am trying to import a .ics file exported from iCal into the OpenGoo calendar. It's not giving me an error message and not uploading. Any reason why this should be happening?
Print calendar Is there any Way to print Calendar (Month-View)?
